VV fire destroys shed, fence

VICTORVILLE • A homeowner's permitted burning of weeds got out of control on Wednesday afternoon, causing a shed and 40 feet of wooden fence to catch fire, officials said.

San Bernardino County Firefighters in three engines responded to reports of a potential structure fire at 12:10 p.m. near the intersection of Majela Court and Majela Avenue in Victorville, County Fire Capt. Jay Hausman said.

The units found a 10-by-10-foot shed fully engulfed in flames with the potential of the fire spreading to another building, like a nearby home, Hausman said.

However, the fire was quickly knocked down and fire damage was contained to the shed and fence, Hausman said. No one was injured in the fire, officials said.
